Doing my part to make the world a better place—whether it be by a total epiphany or a simple smile—I've found a hobby in leaving simple Post-it notes. On these Post-its are written words of kindess, love, and encouragement, in hopes that it may bring a little light to whoever may find it. Since this objective took flight, I've additionally enjoyed simply sharing daily occurances that make life beautiful. Do take what you can from my silly, messy, and scatterbrained story. If nothing else, may it encourage you to embrace your own.

Fate

Hello, hello!

Did anyone notice that in my last post, I claimed to have posted two different notes, but had two pictures of the same Post-it? Well, I did. About a week later. Ooops! I truly did post two notes... And just accidentally uploaded the same one twice. Dangit!

Today, I have one note for you, and to be honest, it probably wouldn't have gone up without this irritating/annoying/drive-Meagan-crazy story...

So, currently, my family of four is sharing one car. It. Stinks. Between my busy schedule including school, sports, work, and other extra curriculars, while still trying to maintain a social life + my dad, his schedule, and my younger brother and sisters needs/wants. Aaah! Anyway, my dad's car is MIA, so he's been using mine. I normally buy gas for myself around every two weeks (sometimes I can stretch it more!), however, with this whole car-sharing idea, we whipped through gas in one week. Angry at the circumstances, I expected my dad to fill up the tank. My dad already has expressed that he would get gas tomorrow, because he needed my car for the day. Buuut, Tonight I worked and realized I couldn't find my phone when I got home. Assuming I left it, I drove back to work, which was closed at that point, to look for my phone. I had no luck finding it, but I was lucky enough to have my gas light go on, meaning that I had to fill up the car this time. I was a little frustrated (especially with gas being $3.15. Ugh.)

Has this story been enough complaining and moaning and groaning yet? Well, keep reading...

At the pump, I wrote out a lovely Post-it note. It literally changed my attitude.
YES, it was cold. And YES, I was upset about my current situation. And NO, I never found my phone at work. In fact, I ended up finding it when I returned home...

I have a good feeling about that note. I think that God would only send me out to look for a phone that was at home and to fill up a tank of gas that my dad should have filled... So that I could leave a note at that specific gas station for someone who needs it. Right? Right.

Anyhoo... I'm off to de-stress a little bit. Not sure how... But I'll figure something out!

Have a lovely week!

Catching Up

Hi, hi, hi!

So over the course of the week I successfully was able to get two notes up...

As well as completely procrastinate blogging about them.

It was one of those weeks where every day that I didn't have some extra going on after school/practice, I said to myself, "Meagan, you should really just go home and take a nap." Guess how many times that happened? No, unfortunately, not once. That's okay, though - I think we caught up this weekend. And by "we" I mean... My sleep and I? Yes, I might be schizophrenic.

Anyhoo, here they are! Both notes went up in the AM at school. Enjoy!- I thought this note was cool because it went on the mirror and the message was referring to the reader's eyes... Which they would see in the mirror... In the reflection. Get it? Don't have to tell me I'm clever twice! Once is enough. ;-)- Fun fact about this note: It took me about three tries to spell "proportion" correctly. Gaaah! It was early, though. So there.

You have an awesome week and try to stay warm! Wisconsin cannot be the only state getting hit with these cold temps! Actually... It would. Hahaha! G'night!

New year, New notes

Happy New Year!!

I'm truly excited to start a new year. It's hard to believe that it's already 2011 and that there have been over ONE HUNDRED notes posted just through this blog. And what's even cooler? I'm not the only one who can take credit!

In fact... Brittany sent me another note this evening and I considered waiting until I had a note to post with hers, but by the time I pulled up the picture I HAD to put it up! She's. The. Best.
It says, "This number DOES NOT signify your worth. You are more than your weight." First of all, it went up at the gym she works out at. Secondly, how cool is it that it is right on the scale? You cannot miss it. And you HAVE to go through that message of truth before you can even read the number. I couldn't think of a better first note of the new year!

That is why I blog.

Well, that's all I have for you on this chilly, wintry night! Wish I had a note... But soon, soon.

Here's to 2011 - More notes in more places for more people! Here's to a ripple effect that is literally changing lives. I wouldn't believe anything less.
